"I turn the corner, and what do I see? A TRANSVESTITE, MAN!"

Do you enjoy decks? Jean shorts? Odd and offensive monologues? Christian Poetry?

Dan Songer has uploaded over 150 videos to YouTube of his "comedy act." Despite his desire to bring joy to the world via poorly-perfomed YouTube comedy, he has surpisingly little web presence, but I did find this great video of him dancing at a Chili Cook-off.

ANTICIPATING THE MOMENT MAN!!!!!

This started out so good because it was so bad, but then it became much much worse. I cannot watch this any longer.

Hey, kids! You know when your parents said, "You can do anything you set your mind to!"?

Yeah. They were fucking lying.

I was unaware that Gallagher had taken on a comedy apprentice.

Apparently getting your Zubaz pants caught in the wheel of your RAZR scooter and faceplanting into the curb has significant neurological consequences.

Also I really hope he doesn't have neighbors within earshot of that deck, or else God help them.

HATING THE MOMENT MAN!!!

watching this kind of denial and self-loathing play out on youtube is painful.

Anyone who needs to talk THAT much about how much he loves beautiful women...

I like the fact that even though he's doing this completely by himself for a camera on a tripod, he's still got this look of desperation on his face like he's totally flopping out there. "Ooh, tough crowd! Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?"

JakeEXTREME, I'm speechless. How I didn't find that video while searching for interesting/crazy bits is beyond me.

He's a comedian entertainer because his job is to entertain comedians.

I wonder if he's operating on some higher level of meta-comedy that we can't even comprehend yet.

posted by Potomac Avenue at 8:39 PM on September 21, 2010

im pretty sure these videos comprise a complete history of the last person in America to find the internet.

I've been rather obsessed with Daniel the last few days, and just spent the last 20 minutes forcing a coworker to watch the highlights.

But you're doing a disservice by not linking to his most popular video "I am your child", his Christian poem/song from 2007 that has over 80,000 views. The transformation from that man into the comedian screaming "Titties and beer", or posting videos titled "MEN JERK OFF", is remarkable.

The dude sounds like Steve Ballmer. I'm not sure that's helping him any.

So he's like the stand-up comic version of Duchamp's urinal?

I've got one word for you, ladies and gentlemen: "Zeitgeist."

That's the problem with postmodernism, you know. It's like Rule 34, writ large.

He has that look of earnest confusion. Someone should refer him to the relevant FAQ page: Why do all these homosexuals keep sucking my cock?

He mentions driving to Atlanta at one point, so I'm thinking GA.

Never, never in the goose.

oh no he quit :C

Yeah, right after he uploaded #148, Honk If You're Horny.

It's good to see that he never lost his signature "is it chicken?" leg stomp move. You don't change horses in midstream.

His obsession with transgenderism is rather remarkable.
